Opening and closing
(I) Tips
• In the event of a crash with airbag deployment all locked doors
will be automatically unlocked to give access to the vehicle occupants
from the outside .
• If the power locking system should malfunction, you can lock the
dr iver's door using the mechanical key :::::,
page 46.
• If the power locking system should fail, you can still open the fuel
tank flap in an emergency:::::,
page 2 78 .
• You are well advised not to keep valuables ins ide an unattended
vehicle, v is ible or not. Even a properly locked veh icle cannot provide
the security of a safe.
• If the LED in the upper edge of the driver's door panel comes on
for about 30 seconds after the veh icle is locked, there is a malfunc­
tion in the power locking or the anti-theft warning system . Have the
malfunction corrected by an authorized Audi dealership or qualified
